What are you, a cop? Did this break anything, or what's the specific issue here besides the implication of automation being used? On Sat, Jun 3, 2023, 10:13 Polarian <polarian@polarian.dev> wrote:
Hello,
I was looking at the AUR today and I have realised a ton of packages with the prefix r-<package name> being updated within a minute of each other, and then found the user to be publishing them:
https://aur.archlinux.org/account/BioArchLinuxBot
By the name it seems this is a Bot, Anthraxx and Jelle have already discussed how this is not acceptable in a previous thread, see:
https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/me...
https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/me...
A draft has also been submitted on the ArchWiki to set this into stone:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Talk:AUR_submission_guidelines#Automation_a...
Therefore I am bringing this user, and the packages which this has occurred on to the TUs here. I have also attached an image to this email which is a screenshot of the recently updated packages, you can use the rss feeds to back this up as well, it clearly shows that a large number of r packages were updated BY THE SAME USER within the span of 10 minutes.
Let me know what you think :)
